Lochinvar is about a plantation owner who leaves to fight for the Confederacy and leaves his servant to defend his family and home. Uncle Ebenezer haunts the halls to this day. True story.

lyrics

LOCHINVAR
Stuart Pearson/Hunter Lowry

The Spanish moss hangs heavy in the trees
The scent of jasmine carried on the breeze
The bones of soldiers finally at peace
And Lochinvar is my home

I hear your voice as it whispers in the halls
I see your shadow thrown against the wall
The moment passes
There's nothing there at all
Because Lochinvar is your home

You dance in lantern light
From frame to frame
And never tell me I'm to blame
To blame
To blame

I left you here and went marching off to war
Like many millions marching off before
But here you battled
No bayonet or sword
Because Lochinvar is your home

Through stone and timber and
Blood and bone
You wander eternally alone
Alone
Alone

A hundred mothers will rock upon the porch
Ten thousand soldiers will march into the North
Still Ebenezer walks
Carrying his torch
Til Johnny comes marching home
Til all the Johnnies come marching home
Because Lochinvar is his home

"Dark Americana 2: Mohave" reflects the desert: dark folk, rustic, dangerous, in ruins and foreboding; breathing hallucinatory American mythology.
